The coin diagnostically looks legit, it's just has way too much damage to even be considered IMO unless you get an extraordinary deal.

Considering a good lists out at 750, 230 isn't beyond reason IMO. Yeah, the obverse is jacked, but then they paid a price equal to the condition. But that is WAAAAAYYYYY subjective.

Ebayers sure are an odd bunch. If I cut out a cardboard disc and drew an 1877 IH on it in crayon, these fools would bit it up to hundreds. I just have to be sure to mention it's a key date and has never been cleaned.

Maybe it has 33 bids on it because it's "uncleaned".

Maybe they're just people who want an 1877 to fill a hole and don't care what it looks like..

I wouldn't pay 230 bucks for a hole-filler.

I would if it was the last one I needed to complete a low-mid grade date set.

I could easily see paying a few hundred bucks for a hole-filler if he hole's been staring at you and laughing at you for many years.

If this coin had either half those obverse scratches or much lighter scratches, the price would be worth it. You have to understand not everyone can afford an 1877, even a filler. These scratches or even gouges are far to severe to warrant this price IMHO. I have seen much nicer fillers for far less money.

You know, considering it's rarity, I could live with that reverse at that price... but that obverse... wow, that's one ugly looking coin! And way too many scratches. I pass. There'll be others.

Id rather have a cleaned coin without all those scratches.
